The box office answer to "why, already, again?" was a $261-million-plus take worldwide. But artistically, this standard-issue summer fare is inferior even to Ang Lee's maligned 2003 Hulk, a pokey but interesting failure miscast as a summer blockbuster. This time, it's Edward Norton (brooding as ever) providing a new variation on presidential politics' standard worry about "whose finger is on the button?" Because in this case, Norton's Hulk (aka Bruce Banner) is the button an army general (William Hurt) drools to use as a super-weapon. Also out: the entire Lou Ferrigno-Bill Bixby Incredible Hulk TV series (1978-82, Universal, unrated, $150).

As with so many other coarsely infantile romantic comedies from the past quarter-century, this Cameron Diaz-Ashton Kutcher vehicle from May is mercilessly crude for 90 minutes and then asks us to accept an unearned load of warm and fuzzies.

The years have been kind to "Citizen Kane," including the last decade. The 1941 Orson Welles classic -- the story of a wealthy young idealist transformed by scandal and vice into a regretful old recluse -- was again rated the best movie ever Wednesday by the American Film Institute.

Take a cellphone to a high-profile movie screening, and piracy fears will get it seized. But you could take one into Iraq's notorious Abu Ghraib prison, and the resulting photographic images would launch an indelible news story. Filmmaker Rory Kennedy takes an even-handed approach to her subject matter, giving a chilling human dimension to the soldiers/tormentors she interviewed.

I was clueless so much footage existed, shot just days and hours before one of history's largest mass murder/suicides. It has been incorporated to full effect in another top-flight American Experience documentary that just aired on PBS.
